(LOOTPRESS) – “The Harlem Gospel Travelers are back with an impeccable cover of The Mighty Walker Brothers’ ‘God’s Been Good To Me.’
Specially selected from the Numero Group catalog, this heater of a track highlights the immense talent and power of the NYC-based three piece.
‘It’s a song that represents a time in music that not many people recognize. A time in which gospel funk took over and was burning up radios, TVs and dance floors,’ Thomas Ifedayo Gatling says, one of the bands members and co-producer of the track.
–
‘Music like this pioneered and created space for artists like us. To sink our teeth into this banger of a song was so fulfilling. The high energy of the music… matched with the big vocals… it fills you with the spirit so much. You can’t help but to get up a dance.’
